In the Birdhouses #3

I started this series of posts (In the Birdhouses) last spring and decided to continue this year.

We have a pair of Eastern Bluebirds that are nesting in one of our birdhouses. 

The bluebird house is about 3 feet from the branch where I took this pic. I had to sit very still to get this pic. 

Although we haven't been able to see any nestlings, both the male and female are bringing food to the nest.  You can see the cricket in his mouth that he is taking in to the nest. 

Their spring and summer diet mostly consists of crickets, grasshoppers, katydids, beetles, earthworms and snails.

Thanks for stopping by, I'll try to get some more pics soon of the bluebirds - Judy.

Birds and Pine Cones for a Wintery Tablescape

We have had a couple of nice days lately, but now we are back to cold and rainy days. My table today features birds and pine cones. I hope you are feeding the birds in your area. 

For my tablescape, I am using . . .

The salad plates are Snowy Bird from Pottery Barn. My husband gave me the plates, chargers, napkins and runner for a gift while I was recovering from a surgery. He thought he should give me something I love - dishes!

The double layer of linen and the Snowy Bird napkins and napkin rings are also Pottery Barn.

Place cards for the table stamped with Tim Holtz stamps. 

The tablescape is casual with pine cones, pine branches 

and birds.

Adding a glass pedestal hurricane 

and crystal candlesticks along the center adds a bit of elegance. 

Lenox crystal and flatware also dress it up.

Thanks for stopping by to see my table with birds and pine cones - Judy
